Independent Medical Opinion (IMO) Nexus Letters

Get the VA disability benefits you deserve with credible Nexus letters written by doctors and advanced practice healthcare professionals.

What is a Nexus Letter?
Independent Medical Opinions (IMOs), or Nexus letters, are formal documents penned by independent medical experts. These letters can be helpful for those in pursuit of VA disability claims and VA disability ratings.

They intend to establish a connection, or “nexus,” between veterans’ military service and their current disability. This crucial link can provide substantial evidence for service-connected disability claims.

How can you benefit from a  Nexus Letter?
These letters may enhance the success rate of a VA claim or increase your VA disability rating. It is always best to seek expert legal consultation with an accredited VA legal representative when considering whether this may be a good option for your military service connection claim.

Nexus letters can assist by presenting an expert independent medical opinion and affirming the correlation between veteran disability and military service. Nexus letters can be integral in securing VA disability claim approval in some cases.

How do you get a Nexus Letter?
Our team of experienced, licensed medical professionals would be happy to review your case. You may also find VA Nexus Letter doctors near you by simply asking your personal primary care doctor to assist with reviewing your medical history and service records.

After reviewing the relevant files, if the opinion is supported, our experts compose a detailed Nexus Letter, explicitly linking your service-related disabilities to your current health condition that may aid in securing the VA benefits you’ve earned.

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Contact us today to start your Nexus letter process.

Leah - Meet the Team

LEAH BUCHOLZ, PA-C

U.S ARMY VETERAN, MEDICAL EXPERT & FORMER C & P EXAMINER

Meet Leah, the founder, and leader of our organization. ​​A combat veteran herself, she understands the unique challenges veterans face, making her mission about much more than running a successful business. It’s about the opportunity to provide a legacy of exceptional service for our heroes.​

​“It is essential to remember that there is no greater honor than caring for service members on the battlefield. Continuing to care for Veterans after separation is an opportunity that I have been afforded to extend that care in this new battlefield related to service-incurred disabilities.”

Her inspiration comes from years of military experience working alongside her fellow servicemembers, particularly key leaders who have influenced her journey, applying their wisdom to her path. She values her team deeply, most of whom are also disabled combat veterans, each member a trusted individual sharing her vision.

 “Driven by passion and purpose, I aim to create a sustainable change that empowers veterans and future generations.”

Leah’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. From overcoming and living with her service-related disabilities to navigating work-life balance, she’s learned to face each hurdle head-on with resilience.  Like many of her veteran brothers and sisters, her early background consisted of limited resources and opportunities. Her military service has helped shape her into a steadfast leader, offering relatable inspiration to others.

Join us in celebrating Leah, a compassionate leader, and resilient veteran, driving our mission to serve those who served our nation.
